The plot has been done before so I knew I wasn't going to see anything new. But the acting was beyond awful. The guy who plays Josh was downright embarrassing. Try a new gig, dude, acting is not for you. The 2 cops were also laughably bad with the few lines they had, not to mention the scene and dialogue were stupid and unrealistic.
As usual, nice setting Lifetimes gives us. Points only for that.
Not worth the watch.

Awful acting
"You're Not the Only One Who Knows Their Way Around a Kitchen"
The Lifetime Movie Machine churns out another one. Don't the writers get tired of reusing the same formulas all the time? The same plots, over and over again? The same "twists" over and over again? Gaping plot holes you can drive a truck through?
I guess not. How else can they keep producing around two movies a week?
If you've seen any of the previous Lifetime "obsessed tenant" movies, you've already seen this one. Skip it.
It should have been called "The Severe Psycho in My Backyard"
Kind of violent LMN entry into the Thursday night lineup - in some parts it was darn right scary!
After watching this, I learned that:
1. You should not buy a house too soon after the previous owner has died (not because a ghost haunting the place).
2. A man who has a good build will ridiculously rip off his athletic tee when he is angered.
3. Kristos Andrews plays the killer/psycho very well.
4. A frying pan can be used as a deadly weapon.
5. Brittany Underwood can really play a TOUGH lady (remembering "Secrets in the Woods).
6/10.
